This sectional specification relates to IEC 61156-1:2002. The cables are specifically intended
for work area wiring as defined in ISO/IEC 11801.
This specification defines individually screened, common overall core screen and unscreened
pairs or quads in cables for work area wiring. These cables are suitable for the various
communication systems for which the reference is given in the relevant detail specification.
The cables covered by this sectional specification are intended to operate with voltages and
currents normally adopted for communication systems. These cables should not be connected
to low impedance sources, for example, the public mains electricity supply.
The recommended temperature range during installation is 0 ℃ to +50 ℃. The actual
temperature range during installation shall be indicated in the relevant detail specification. The
normal operating temperature range shall be -40 ℃ to +60 ℃.
